This invention relates to abrush for bar-V bers use when cutting hair, more particularly to the handle for the brush head, and has for its object to provide, in a manner as here'- used` upon each customer when it is desired to remove the cut hairs from the face, head or neck, under such` conditions providing for sanitation. ,Y x Y A furtherobject of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a brush handle so constructed and arranged to detachably secure therewith a brush head andto apply powderto the .latter when it is desired toremove'the cuthairs from the face, head 'or neck of a customer, under such conditions permitting of an independent brush head to be used for eachcustomer, ythereby providing for sanitation. Y i

The inventionfurther aims to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth', a handle for removably connecting therewith abrush headfor barbers use when cutting hairand which is simple in its constructionandv arrangemennstrong, durable, compact, thoroughly efficient in its use,kreadily assembled and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the oregoingand other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, v combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more` specifically'ldef scribed, and illustrated in the Vaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

The sections'are spring conin accordance withthis in.-

length than section 10.` Y ,Y Y

The sections at the forward Vends y thereof are flush with each otherbut section 10 projects. a substantial distance, rearwardly from tion 10. VThe section v11 is of'materially less 1- Section v10 comprises an intermediate por- Y portion 13 and a rear end portionle. y Y `The portion 14 is in the form 4of a compressible bulb constructed from' resilient material andwhi'ch provides 'a powder reservoir or container. TheV rear end of portion 14 is 'provided with a filling opening 15 normally closed by a removable cap ory plug 16 which permits of portion 14 being ,filled when desired. The portion 121 also includes a neck 17 coupled withthe portion 13byaperipherally threaded flanged collar 18, thelatter being suitably anchored in ,theV rear end of portion 13. Y

The portions 12and 13 are integral with each other and portion 12 is of materially greater width than the width of portion 13. The portion 12 is what may be termed a discharge head l,and a clamping jaw and is formed .withV flaring passage v19 which merges into an inverted,ifiaringkchannel 20 opening at the inner face of the portion 12,v

as Well as also opening at the forward edge of such portion. The inner or lower face of portion 12 isfbeveled as indicated at 2,1, and

the inner lpart of such bevel terminates at the forward end of passage 19.

The portion 13 is provided with a' lengthwise disposed channel 22 which forms 'aljcontinuation of the opening 23 provided'by the flanged sleeve or'oollar 18.Y The channel/22 trolled and section 11 fulorums againstl sec; i

merges into the rear end of channel 19 and the forward part of such channel 22 is iared as at 23. The channel 22 from its point of communication with the opening 23 to the rear end ofk the flared part 24 gradually decreases Vin area. A The inner face of portion 13 has the forward portion thereof beveled, as at`25, but the inclination is not in the same plane as the bevel 21 of the inner face oflportion'12.

The section V11 ,comprises an intermediate portion'26, a forward end vportion 27 and a rear end portion 28. The portion 26 is of less.V

width. than portion v27 and the latter is of a size as, opposes and corresponds in contour to the endportion 12 of section 10.' l

The inner face ofportion 27 is mortised to provide a shoulder 29 and a ledge 30 which inclines outwardly. The `ledge 30 opposes bevell 21 and is voppositelydisposed with respect thereto. The bevel 21 and ledge 30 coact to provide a pocket to-receive the inner Y endot .the removable brush head 31. The

niort'ise formed in the end portion 27 further provides a pair of shoulders 32 arranged adjacent, vbut in proximity tothe side edges of said portion 27. The inner face of portion 26 is beveled as at 33,'in the same directionV as bevel 25. The portion 28 is tapered, is x i, what may loe-termed a finger piece and pro- `jects outwardly at an inclination with respect to therear end of portion26. n e

The fulcrum point between sections 10, 11 is at the rear end oi portion 26, and isindicated at 34. The inner face of :portion 26 in proximity to ulcrum point 34' is provided with a transverse groove 35.

` The end portion 27 of section 11 provides a clamping jaw which coacts Vwith the end* portionv 26 of section 10 to removably connect the brush head to thehandle'. Y

, Associated with the sections 10 and11 of the handle lto normallymaintain them in abutting relation is Ta clamping spring V'formed from a single length ofwire'of the desired gauge and consisting of a pair of oppositelv disposed coils 36, 37, a pair of oppositely Vdisposed hook arms 33, 39 anda coupling part 40 between the coils 36, 37. The part 40 is mounted in the groove 35, the coils 36, 37

arranged at opposite sides" of the intermediate portions ofy section 10, 11, the arm 38 opposing one side of Aintermediate portion 13 aiidseats in a groove 41 in the outer'face of lthe latter, and arm 39'opposes one side of the intermediate portion 26 and seats in groove 42 in the outerface ofthe latter.

Y I The form showninFigures i64 and 7 is the samev as thatshown: in Figures-1 to, with this 'exception that the handle section 43 which;

corresponds to" handle section 10 is solid, formed from one piece of material and its rear Vend part V44'is -not las largeas'rear end part ,14. AA further difference is that the groove which receives the coupling part ofthe v clamp- Ying spring is formed iii'the inner vvface et section 40 and indicated at45. Otherwise than that as stated the form shown in Figure 6 is of a construction similar to that shown in Figure 1.V f r Y Thebrush-head 31 can be formed of bristles, slittedpaper or in any suitable manner.V As they areto'bediscarded after being used once, they should be of an inexpensive type,

. however, it isto be understood that any type of brush head capable of being employed lustrated and described, yet it is to 'be under-V tion can behad which will fall within the stood that changes in the details of construcscope of the invention as claimed.
